Sung has been an amazing actor and an excellent person. Everyone knows how much Sung means to the world. And I am just a fan, mediocre, nobody. Just an Asian female, first-generation Japanese American with no significant feature. The only thing in common between Sung and I are that we were born in 1972.
But guess what? My persistence and craziness paid off. He remembers not only my name, but also where I live. When he found me in Hollywood, he said, "Mari, you came all the way from DC?"
Of course! I will grab every opportunity to see him in person. This time, I happened to have had Monday off planned somehow without any clear reason. So, all I needed to do was requesting one more day off from my new manager and book my round trip to LAX. Easy! 5 hours flight? Nothing. I'm used to my 14 hours flight to Japan anyway.
It's been 2.5 years since I last saw him in person in Tampa. So, it hasn't been too long compared to the previous interval I had.
There are many other things I want to talk about. But let me stop here for today before I started bragging too much more.
